International Tabletop Day, a celebration of the different types of tabletop gaming, is Saturday.

If you think all there is to board games are Monopoly, Clue and Scrabble, then think again! Saturday is International Tabletop Day, a free event designed to celebrate the various types of tabletop gaming. Local residents can join in the fun at the Kanawha Players Theater, 309 Beauregard St., starting at 6 p.m. This event and others around the world are being held in conjunction with the YouTube network Geek & Sundry, which has its own webshow on the subject, Tabletop (hosted by nerd extraordinaire Wil Wheaton). The event will feature card, board and role-playing games for all ages, as well as an 18-and-up timeslot. Gamers old and new are invited to attend. The night ends with a 10 p.m. screening of the gaming movie, “The Gamers: Hands of Fate.” Call 304-343-7529.
